FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Extended forecast and pilot notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 140° at 15 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling 5,000 ft. Forecast suggests tonight chance rain and snow showers, low near 31F, 43% chance of precipitation. Key risks: no significant hazards are highlighted right now, but always confirm against an official briefing. Note: the NWS forecast for now reads "Slight Chance Rain And Snow Showers" but the current METAR shows none of it; the observation and forecast differ, so trust the METAR for current conditions.
